About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an ordinary aisle of Grocery Outlet, a little boy stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes widened as he pointed towards the shelves, whispering ‘Mom, look! It’s talking!’ The mother squinted, then laughed softly. Turning back, she saw nothing but ordinary cans and boxes. But just as she was about to reassure her son, one can suddenly shifted slightly on its own. Everyone nearby froze, until a delivery driver cleared his throat and said, 'Probably just some old fruit juice playing tricks.' They all chuckled, and life went on—with everyone keeping a closer eye on those noisy cans after that.
2. At night, when the lights were dimmed and the shelves seemed to whisper secrets, a strange humming noise would occasionally echo through the aisles of Grocery Outlet. No one could quite place its origin—neither the late-night shoppers nor the overnight security guard. One night, an elderly neighbor stopped in for some late-night snacks. She swore she saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart down the cereal aisle. The next morning, everyone agreed it must’ve been just her imagination—or maybe the delivery driver playing a prank.}
3. In a quiet corner of Grocery Outlet, after hours when the cash registers fell silent, a neighborhood cat began appearing mysteriously. Each night, it would leap onto the top shelf of the canned goods aisle, sending cans tumbling down with eerie precision. One night, a delivery driver noticed the commotion and tried shooing away the cat. Instead, he accidentally knocked over an entire display of pickles. The next morning, the manager found him fast asleep on the floor amidst dill and gherkin chaos. A neighbor quipped, ‘Guess who’s our new store mascot now?’
4. In a dusty corner of Grocery Outlet, a delivery driver found something unexpected nestled among the boxes: a tiny, perfectly preserved model train set, complete with miniature station and figures. Curious, he picked it up—only to hear a faint click as one of the figurines’ eyes opened. Turns out, it was just an old wind-up toy, but everyone in town got a kick out of his story for weeks.
